The arrival of hops to the brewing scene in England in the 1500’s led to a moral panic. Hops were condemned as a “wicked and pernicious weed”, one which would lead to the erosion of social and moral standards. Thank goodness they were right. Here’s hoping that our homage to the original pernicious weed continues this gradual decline. Organic Rakau and whole cone Nelson Sauvin go head to head in this strong, golden, hoppy brew. Bitter, yes. Intensely hoppy, absolutely. Too much, never.

0.65l bottle. Looks nice this with a deep honey colored cloudy body under a big lacing off-white lacing head. Oh, the nelson is strong in this one! Oh, my! Lots and lots of lovely cat pee and grapes combined with a sharp citrus sting. There's also fresh grass, caramel, those flat sweet intense small peaches, some apricots and some white vine tones. Smells really nice this stuff! Lots of pinewood in the taste. Like sticking your tongue on the tree itself. Thick viscous and oily in the mouth while the carbonation is just below average. There's also a good amount of Mr Nelsons cat's pee in the taste. Love it. Have never really been a huge fan of that but in this it works great. Zesty citrus tailing this one off for a long long while. A really nice one! 05.07.2014
